Do you visit Neopets as frequently as you used to?

[Pixa]

The long title explains it all! Do you visit Neopets as frequently as you used to? I long selection of choices available to you.

Basically, today while doing my dailies, I considered how little time I spent on Neopets these days. I considered why it lost my attention, and concluded that:

1) No new avatars for 8 weeks, minus Bonju and plot.
2) Real lack of effort into news, nothing interesting.
3) Length of time for Altador plot prizes.
4) Nothing new to grab my attention.
5) Restock system destroyed.
6) Lack of guild or projects to divert my attention to.
7) I feel as if I am growing out of Neopets and would rather spend my time elsewhere.

Discuss. Oh, before people jump on me for 'growing out' of it, I've been on the site around 3 years now, and to be honest, it feels time to move on. I wouldn't quit - I've put too much time into the site. However, I have no problems spending minimal time there.

Ack I lost access to my account and even before then I really only went on there to see if anyone had posted on the guild board and maybe the occasional Tarla's giveaway..

But I sure miss being able to use my account and not having a chance to do the now-boring stuff

I spend around the same time. When I first joined Neopets I had limited internet time, but now I have unlimited I still play neopets for the same duration like I was two years ago

I spend about the same amount of time on that I've been spending for the past year or so. It's not a high priority though--I visit MySpace, Gmail, PPT, another forum, and my friends' journals and blogs before I even think about doing my dailies.

I said "yes" but I've gone through a lot of cycles with Neo. There were times when I spent several hours a day on it. There were times when I went 5 months without logging on. Right now I'm spending about 30 minutes a day on weekdays and a couple of hours a day on weekends.

Technically I've been spending more time now that I'm unemployed (booo) and my classes are only averaging 3-4hrs/day unlike last year of 6.... but I voted "less, school" in order to motivate myself to play less, I'm behind in every class lol

[Zero!]

I go on sometimes, but not nearly as much as I used to. I lost interest, I suppose...

[Cerise]

Im on more than I used to be. Ive played since early 2001, and from 2002-2005, I wasnt around very much. Im just starting to get into the swing of things again this year.

Not as much as I once did, far more than the time following that, about the same as the time after after that.

[sily_sicily]

I have too much homework. During the holidays then I have time to really PLAY. Nowadays I only come on to collect my freebies.

[Lillie]

Not at all. I used to go on for a couple of hours every day in the height of my addiction, and now I go on for fifteen minutes every two weeks at best.

[thelilbear]

I go on more now that I can kinda get away with it at work, but when I didn't have that opportunity I didn't play as much. So I'm sure when I move on from here I probably won't play as much either.

I used to spend two hours everyday durring the week, and three to four hours on the weekend. Now, with school (though I was like that all last year) and my sister thinking she should get five hours and I only get two, I'm usualy only on neopets for half an hour durring the week. I hate it, but my sister is the biggest brat I've ever heard of and if she doesn't get what she wants she gets mad, walks away guilt tripping you saying fine, whatever, then comes back screaming and sometimes getting violent. I'm also addicted to The Shadowbox, so that eats up time. I'm going to start doing neopets on Tuesday and Thursday for the whole time instead of Shadowbox though. I hate seeing my bank account stay at a very similar balance all week.

I played far more than I should have when I was younger. I've taken a lot of time off, mostly due to school stuff and just being generally tired of the game. Now I'm back in it, but I only play when I have a passing whim to play NeoQuest. So, yeah, I don't play nearly as much as I used to.

[labbiedor]

I usually only go on every few days now. When I was younger I used to go on it every day for like 4-5 hours, but I guess I'm kind of just losing interest in it.
